Chemistry Tutoring

Every brilliant experiment, like every great work of art, starts with an act of imagination.

(Jonah Lehrer)

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes, forming the basis of everything from the materials we use daily to the processes that power the universe. At TheLearningMaths, we provide in-depth chemistry tutoring that helps students from Grade 7 to Grade 12 grasp the fundamental concepts of the subject and excel in their exams. Our chemistry tutoring covers all major curricula, including the UK, USA, Australian, CBSE and other International Curriculum systems, ensuring students receive tailored support based on their academic needs.

Chemistry can often seem complex, but with the right guidance, students can develop a clear understanding of key principles such as atomic structure, chemical reactions, and thermodynamics. At TheLearningMaths, our tutors simplify these concepts and make them accessible, helping students build confidence and excel in exams. Whether your child is working through basic chemistry concepts or tackling advanced organic chemistry, we provide the support they need to succeed.

 

Curriculum-Specific Expertise

 

  • UK Curriculum: We guide students through GCSE and A-level chemistry, ensuring they understand key topics such as atomic structure, bonding, organic chemistry, and thermodynamics. We also prepare students for practical exams and coursework.
  • USA Curriculum: Our tutoring aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and AP Chemistry, covering topics from basic chemical reactions to advanced topics like kinetics and equilibrium. We also provide support for SAT and ACT chemistry sections.
  • Australian Curriculum: We help students navigate chemistry as part of their high school studies, including preparation for Naplan exams. Our focus is on understanding matter, chemical systems, and reactions in both theoretical and practical contexts.
  • Other International Curriculum: For CBSE and other International curriculum students, we cover chemistry from foundational concepts in early grades to advanced topics in senior secondary, focusing on preparing for board exams with comprehensive content review and practice.

Our chemistry tutoring is designed to cover all aspects of the subject, from foundational knowledge to advanced topics. Here’s an overview of what we offer:

Basic Chemistry (Grades 7-8)

  • Introduction to Matter: Understanding states of matter, physical and chemical properties, and changes.
  • Atoms & Elements: Basic atomic structure, the periodic table, and understanding elements.
  • Compounds & Mixtures: Learning about the differences between elements, compounds, and mixtures.
  • Basic Chemical Reactions: Introduction to types of chemical reactions, including combustion, oxidation, and decomposition.
  • Acids, Bases & pH: Understanding the properties of acids and bases, pH scale, and neutralization reactions.

Intermediate Chemistry (Grades 9-10)

  • Atomic Structure & Periodic Table: Detailed study of protons, neutrons, electrons, and their arrangement in the periodic table.
  • Chemical Bonding: Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding, and how these bonds affect chemical properties.
  • Moles & Stoichiometry: Understanding molar mass, Avogadro’s number, and balancing chemical equations.
  • Reactivity & Energy Changes: Investigating exothermic and endothermic reactions, activation energy, and catalysts.
  • Rates of Reaction: Factors affecting reaction rates, including temperature, concentration, and surface area.
  • Introduction to Organic Chemistry: Basics of hydrocarbons, functional groups, and simple reactions of organic compounds.

Advanced Chemistry (Grades 11-12)

  • Thermodynamics: Understanding the laws of thermodynamics, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy.
  • Chemical Equilibrium: The concept of dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier’s Principle, and equilibrium constants.
  • Acids, Bases & Buffers: Advanced study of acid-base reactions, titration, and buffer systems.
  • Electrochemistry: Redox reactions, standard electrode potentials, and electrochemical cells.
  • Organic Chemistry: Detailed study of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amines. Mechanisms of substitution, elimination, and addition reactions.
  • Kinetics: Exploring reaction mechanisms, rate laws, and the collision theory of reactions.
  • Nuclear Chemistry: Radioactive decay, half-life, and applications of nuclear reactions.
  • Quantitative Chemistry: Analytical techniques including titration, spectrophotometry, and gas chromatography.

How Our Chemistry Tutoring Helps Students Excel?

We at  TheLearningMaths, believe that chemistry becomes much more engaging when students can see how it applies to everyday life and the world around them.
